This writer confesses she's got a soft spot for Pennsylvania senator John Fetterman. He's been reasonable on a lot of issues -- a vocal supporter of Israel and outspoken critic of the pro-Hamas crowd -- and, well, let's be honest, his fashion sense is entertaining as hell.
Take today's look, for example:

That's a look. For sure.
Not even Usher can pull this off
— Igor Bobic (@igorbobic) June 12, 2024
Nope. Not even Usher.
Looks a little toasty. Only people know who wear that many layers in the summer are women. 🫣

It does look a little toasty. Especially in DC in June.
He just tied the tie directly to his neck 😂
— NetRaven (@xXNetRavenXx) June 12, 2024
He sure did.
Objectively worse than forgoing the tie completely.

But 100% more amusing.
I used to hate it but it’s growing on me.
— Casey Phillips (@CaseyPhillips1) June 12, 2024
Right?
At one point I was critcal of his attire, but I've come to respect him as one of the most sincere members of congress. He looks good in a suit but I will take him either way.

Bingo.
The 'professionally dressed' in Congress are often insincere tyrants.
Give us the hoodie.
Tie directly on neck is like shoes without socks.

Pretty much.
Fetterman has been so amazing since Oct 7 that if needed, I can explain why this is the proper way to wear a suit

We'll allow it.
He just watched Dogma and felt it was right. pic.twitter.com/zGIpPZDEPt

+1000 for the Dogma reference.
John Fetterman is every teenage slob’s trump card when someone says “dress for the job you want, not the job you have.” https://t.co/sgMRF21Lpl

Heh. A fair point.
Can't wait to see what he comes up with for Seersucker Thursday. https://t.co/O3S7Kvb9MF https://t.co/KO1klCc1i5

That's a thing?
Dammit…… I’m starting to like Fetterman. What is happening to me https://t.co/1ED9nHaP0W

Welcome to the party, pal.

Post pics, please.
I honor his commitment to the bit https://t.co/SMWF3LH47Y

So do we.
The senate dress code mandates tie and jacket for men to receive floor privileges. I guess this is a good compromise as any. https://t.co/MxBSDKFJec
— Einav Rabinovitch-Fox (@DrEinavRFox) June 13, 2024
There's the letter and the spirit of the rule, and Fetterman has found both.
Rare to see this level of tailoring these days, even on the very rich https://t.co/Ux3pWxPyrd

Heh.
Just realized I’m a hypocrite because this would have annoyed me last year but now because I kinda like him I think it’s funny https://t.co/Wf9hwRssQ1
— Keels (@keelymbc) June 12, 2024
We think it's funny, too.
